Computer Mouse | MAP Tech |

Introduction

Computer mouse allows to give input by using pointing, clicking, double-clicking and dragging actions. A mouse is used to draw pictures and play games. It is also used to control the movement of a pointer. In this post you will study about different types of mouse with picture.

Different Types of Mouse are:

1. Wireless mouse
2. Laser mouse
3. Trackball mouse
4. Optical mouse
5. mechanical mouse
6. Stylus Mouse

1. Wireless Mouse

Wireless mouse have come a long way in recent years. No longer do they lag like they once did, causing your mouse cursor to feel like it’s a second or two behind. With improved sensors and Bluetooth technology, wireless mouse have never been better in 2020. Whether you’re shopping for an ergonomic mouse, a gaming mouse, or a lightweight device, we tested all of this year’s top wireless mouse to find the perfect device for your workstation.

2. Laser Mouse

The laser mouse uses an infrared laser diode instead of an LED to illuminate the surface beneath their sensor. As early as 1998, Sun Micro-systems provided a laser mouse with their Sun Sparc-station servers and workstations.

3. Trackball Mouse

A trackball is a pointing device consisting of a ball held by a socket containing sensors to detect a rotation of the ball about two axes—like an upside-down mouse with an exposed protruding ball.[1] Users roll the ball to position the on-screen pointer, using their thumb, fingers, or commonly the palm of the hand while using the fingertips to press the mouse buttons.

4. Optical Mouse

An optical mouse is a computer mouse which uses a light source, typically a light-emitting diode (LED), and a light detector, such as an array of photo-diodes, to detect movement relative to a surface. Variations of the optical mouse have largely replaced the older mechanical mouse design, which uses moving parts to sense motion.

5. Mechanical Mouse

A mechanical mouse is a computer mouse that contains a metal or rubber ball on its under side. When the ball is rolled in any direction, sensors inside the mouse detect this motion and move the on-screen mouse pointer in the same direction.

6. Stylus Mouse

The stylus is a pointing device. For the most part, it works just like a mouse: Tap the screen to click, double-tap, right-tap, and so on.Okay: There’s no such thing as a right-tap. Before using it, however, take a look at the pen. Check out the important parts.The stylus works by touching the tablet’s screen, which is a digitized. In Windows, the stylus’s touch is interpreted similarly to mouse movement.

Unit Of Computer Memory Measurement | MAP Tech |

Computers use the binary system because it is easy to represent the two states 'on' and 'off' inside a computer. These two states are represented by voltages. 0 (Zero) volts is used to represent 0, and a voltage usually between 1 and 5 volts depending upon the types of computer, is used to represent 1. Computer uses different units to store data. A bit is a binary digit, the smallest increment of data on a computer. A bit can hold only one of two values: 0 or 1, corresponding to the electrical values of off or on, respectively. Because bits are so small, you rarely work with information one bit at a time. Bits are usually assembled into a group of eight to form a byte. A byte contains enough information to store a single ASCII character, like "h". A kilobyte (KB) is 1,024 bytes, not one thousand bytes as might be expected, because computers use binary (base two) math, instead of a decimal (base ten) system. Computer storage and memory is...
